  • Steep but short climb up the steps to the top (there’s also a ramp path to the top). Nice views over Gothenburg and interesting building on top.

  • We climbed up for the views and it was definitely worth it. Great panoramic views of the city all of the way down to the river. You can access it either via a set of stairs or a winding path on the...

  • An exceptional viewing spot with lots of great vistas to discover. You can also interact with historical cannons or make a picnic. This is a great spot for viewing the city but also to appreciate the great fort of Kronan. Its walls are exceptionally thick and made of nicely coloured stones. It’s a great piece of defensive architecture, very voluminous, frozen still in time.
  • They have a great Christmas dinner/lunch, really good food and service, can definitely recommend. It's also a nice area outside, great for taking cityscape photos or just picnicking.
